THE FAMILY RECORD
by
Truxton German Lamb
with explanations and. data
by
Evelyn Davis Fincher
PREFACE
This Family Record I have had copied
from a typed manuscript in the possession of
my Uncle , Ernest Spurr Lamb of Philadelphia.
It is a record of five generations of Lambs
from 1706 to 1876; including much informa¬
tion about the families into which they mar¬
ried.
This material has no title and is not
signed but ’hhere is plenty of proof that
Truxton German Lamb compiled this Family Re¬
cord. When referring to his stepmother
Hulda (White) Lamb, the text says: "The writer
of these Incidents T. G. L., her stepson,
feels under great obligation to her." He re¬
fers to himself often as ’ T.G. ’ and I shall
use his initials when mentioning him.
I grew up knowing that there was. a
Lamb family history somewhere about but had
no interest in it, until in 1928, having two
daughters of my own, I decided to collect
their ancestry. I asked my mother, Clara
(Lamb 9) Davis, what she could tell me about
the family. I quote from a letter I have
from her written in April 1928 from Haddon-
field, New Jersey. My Grandmother Rebecca
(Spurr) Lamb, widow of Charles Card 8 Lamb,
2
lived with her. "Grandma found the family re¬
cord in her chiffonier and this morning I read
it over till I found the direct line. The ac¬
count is very interesting, telling color of
hair, eyes, height, weight, occupation, school¬
ing, homes purchased and sold, number of chil¬
dren. Look it over sometime when you come
down. "
In among the papers sent me along with
this Family Record is a letter signed by R. L.
Lamb who was Reuben Lonson Lamb, half-brother
to T. G. , written to his grandniece Delia M.
Lamb on Jan. l4, 1904, saying "You ask for in¬
formation in the way'... of geneology of your fam¬
ily, - Your grandfather - Truxton - was at
the trouble some years before his death to
look up these matters to a large extent and at
his death these papers came into my hands."
T.G.'s record is written under two dates.
In the first part he refers to people 'living
in l86l, his numbering system is good. In the
latter part writing about himself he says
"Truxton G. . .now in 1876 at 64 years of age".
This second part is harder to follow and not so
carefully numbered. I have in no way altered
the original material. The spelling and punc¬
tuation are his, at least they are as I found
them on the typed manuscript that I copied.
'V > * . . v . v • • ... ..
I will briefly outline the three genera¬
tions preceding Ebenezer 4 with whom T. G. be¬
gins and calls (l) . I will outline the gener¬
ations he covers, Ebenezer 4, Reuben 5* Joshua
6, T. G. 7 and I will add all the descendants
of Truxton German 7 Lamb that I have record of
calling T. G. $1.

Miss Delia M. Lamb, .. -

Dear Niece : • . • - '
. ■ ' - • 1 ... 1
Your letter of the 12th inst. just re¬
ceived and I hasten to make acknowledgment
of the favor.
. ‘ ; i
Yes, I was somewhat surprised on receiv¬
ing your letter, for, save for the. short call
of your brother and new wife last fall, I had
almost lost track of the family. We were very
much pleased with your brother, also his wife
and were very sorry their stay was necessarily
so short.
You speak of my son in New York. He is
engaged in one of the schools in the city as
a teacher of the modern languages. His pres¬
ent address is No. 21 East 98th street and I
will enclose your letter in my next to him.
He is very busy preparing a paper for the
close of Amherst College of which he is a grad¬
uate, but hope he may be able to look you up in
the near future, for the circle of the Lamb
family is rapidly growing smaller.
You ask for information in the way of the
geneology of our family. I regret that the
materials for furnishing the desired informa¬
tion have passed out of my possession. Your
grandfather - Truxton - was at the trouble
some years before his death to look up these
matters to a large extent and at his death the
papers came into my hands but something more
than a year since your aunt Alice Wilbur of
Binghamton very much desired to look up some
matters of especial interest to her and these
notes were forwarded by me to her and are now,
doubtless in her possession, and, upon corres-
22
pondence with her, you. would very likely be
able to learn what you might desire.
I may add, however, in reference to one
point of your inquiries that the Lambs came
originally from England, while the mother of
seven boys of which your great grandfather -
my father - was one, came from Ireland, and
lived to be more than ninety years old. The
home of your great, great, grandfather - my
grandfather - was in the town of Oxford Wor¬
cester Go. Mass, where he had a grist mill
upon the. small French River. He took part
in what- is known in history as "Shay ’ s Rebel¬
lion" which occurred just after the close of
the Revolutionary war, and for this act of
his, his entire property was confiscated by
the government. That Rebellion was caused by
the effort of the General Government, under
the Articles of Confederation - the Consti¬
tution not having yet been adopted to place
the debt on their shoulders, upon the States
respectively, which at the time was very un¬
popular .
I send love of .self and family to your¬
self and the other members of your family
circle, and would be glad to hear from you
again.
Affectionately
R . L . Lamb
P.S. William W. Lamb is the name of my son.

and rec’d the whole hit of the axe on the. hack
part of the hand from the 3 joint in the thumb
transversely towards. & into the wrist joint;
separating the hand from the arm entirely save
a little flesh and skin On each side. It was
suitably draped by- his mother. A physician was
sent for & while examining the wound; got his
finger accidently into the cut; started the
blood and fainted. It was cut of Friday and
on Sunday another Doct.- Fisher examined it
and said the hand must be taken off; laid out
his implements and made ready. Joshua seeing
and understanding the preparation said to his
father "if this hand is taken off will another
grow out?" His father replied "No". Then says
he; "I will not have it cut off for I shall
want it"- The amputation was abandoned & the
hand in a crippled &' deformed condition was
saved. This arm is some 4 or 5 inches shorter
than the right; smaller & crooked & deficient
in strength. The thumb and forefinger stiff
and drawn together & the end of the other 3
fingers drawn near the palm of the hand. By
reason of this disability; while his brother
worked out on farms about he was employed about
the Home & in the mill and such other work as
he could do. His brothers had their time at
19- He had his in Augt. before he was l8.
In the fall of 1798 he went 3 months to Lei¬
cester Academy in the town north of Oxford 6
miles from home. Kept school in his father’s
district in the winters of 1798 & 9* In 'the
summer of 1?99 went 6 months to' Leicstet A.
In the winters of. 1799 & 1800 taught school
at Oxford Center. In the summer of 1800 work¬
ed farm in the neighborhood & boarded at home.
In the winter of 1800 he kept school by what
was known as The Pond" in Oxford for 10 weeks
& in last of the winter a short time again at
home. In Apl. 1801 hired out to 2 men to work
on a farm; half the time for each. Worked 3
weeks for one & 2 for the other anpl gave up;
could not stand it with the lame hand. Reubin

his brother said "Go with me". His father was
unwilling to have him go, fearful of his abil¬
ity to provide for himself in his crippled con¬
dition. His father had intended to give him a
liberal education but a reverse in his fortune
had rendered it impossible. He said "Father I
will go and see if I can live . An opening may
be found somewhere, I can but fair at the
worst." And he started with Reubin for Mil¬
ford N.Y. 8c had horse, saddle, bridle, saddle
bags and a little money - in all less than
$100 in value.' Came to Milford in June 1801
& got into school immediately by help of Reu¬
bin. Taught through the summer and next win¬
ter l801 8c 2. In May 1802 came to Columbus
to visit brother Alvin. An ark loaded with
wheat was about to start down the Unadilla 8c
Susquehanna. Rivers to Baltimore, Alvin was go¬
ing 8c Joshua also went as a hand. This grain
was the production of the farmers of New Ber¬
lin and Columbus (then Brookfield) seeking a
market in the channel. The wheat became in¬
jured on the way 'and sold at Hava de, Grace
for 2/8 per bushel. They were 14 days going
down & 12 days coming back. At Bainbridge
got so foot sore could walk no farther, hired
a horse here 8c rode home, spent more than
their wages besides much wear and tear of the
body. "Saw the Elephant on this journey".
In the fall of 1802 went with Reubin to Oxford.
He bought a horse 8c carriage 8c some dry goods
8c brought them to Milford, 8c he and Joshua
went in Company. Joshua sold goods 8c made po¬
tash 8c Reubin practiced medicine . Joshua cut
his own wood, worked the potash, and often lay
by the arch over night. In the fall of 1803
Joshua 8c Reubin went to Salisbury Ct. R. went
to Oxford and taught school again in his home
district in the winter of 1803 & 4. About
June l8o4 came to Columbus (then Bainbridge)

Alvin had the house in which J afterwards lived
framed & ready to raise. Soon got the appoint¬
ment of Constable in the place of Sami. Camp¬
bell who was elected but declined serving.
This office in those days was lucrative, as
seeing and putting people in jail for non¬
payment of debts was of common occur ranee.
This furnished money for completing the house
that A. & J. were building, Joshua having
bought a half interest in it. In the Spring
of 1805 & 6 J. elected Constable. Litigation
increased 8c the office was still more profit¬
able. In the Spring of 1807 Price French was
chose Constable. J. tilled land upon shares
during the summer 8c in Feby. 25th 1808 married
Sarah German. He commenced keeping house one
or two days after town meeting at Columbus
Corners. In May following took license, put
up- sign and opened a tavern with very limited
means. Wife had one bed, hired 2 more, kept
public house from that time until 1845 with
the exception of 4 years (l8l8 to 1822) up to
the time of completing the Erie Canal 1825-
There was an immense amount of trade on this
road from Albany through Chenango & to the
northern counties 8c although taverns were num¬
erous he had all the business he could do.
This for him was a harvest time and it was well
improved and a competence secured. Testimony
of the measure of confidence his Contemporaries
had in his integrity may be found in the follow¬
ing facts:
He was Constable from l8o4 to l807-
" Dep. Sheriff 1812 to 1815.
Supervisor l8l6 8c 1820
Justice l8l8 to 1822
County Judge 1837 to 1843

Campbell 8c Constant Parkins. He was a friend
of common schools 8c took care to have the fa¬
cility of a good practical education before
his children. In politics he was a Federal¬
ist up to 1832, since that he acted with the
Democrats . In religion sentiment he was a
Universalist of the Winchester Order. In
1806 or 7 a meeting of that Order was held in
his house, the first ever held in this part
of the country. In business he was enprgetic,
perservering, prompt 8c spent many hours in im¬
proving his condition while most of the people
were asleep. Up to June 1827 he had enjoyed
good health, never had medical aid but twice--
when his hand was cut 8c when suffering from
Small Pox, which left its marks upon his face.
At this time June 1827 was taken with pleur¬
isy, which resulted with inflammation of the
lungs. Was confined to his bed through July
8c August. Doctor Mitchell of Norwich, Jos¬
eph White of Cherry Valley pronounced him in- .
curable but a vigorous constitution, together
with the best of Attention by Doct. E. Rop of
New Berlin raised him up. In September when
he needed aid to get into a wagon with his
wife Doct. Rop 8c wife, Dr. Finch 8c wife 8c May
Blow, he took a tour through the western part
of the state through Rochester 8c to Niagara
Falls 8c returned much improved. At various
times he traveled as follows: 1802 Went to
Oxford upon horseback and came back in wagon;
250 miles. 1803 Went to his fathers and back,
250 miles. 1806 went to his fathers ' 8c back,

Mr. R. Rop. 1832 Went to Delaware, Oh. by
stage, to Utica canal, to Buffalo steamboat,
to Cleveland stage & canal, to D. 1100. To !
him the town of Columbus is indebted for an
addition of $50 to the school fund, made up of
surplus taxes, collected by former Supervisors
8c not accounted for. A report being made him
of these several sums 8c by whom retained it
was ordered to be collected and added to said
fund. He and his assocciates who encountered
the privation and hardships, incident to the
settlement of this then new rugged, wooded
country, are now. 1876 dwellers in the "City
of the Dead", while their children enjoy the
fruit of their labor, little thinking of the
toil by which these blessings have been se¬
cured. As an illustration of the energy and
determination put forth when he entered into
any project- -the following incidents may be
mentioned. Israel Greenleaf had a demand Agt.
John Miller living in the north part of the
town on what was known as the "Old Gifford
Place" . In those days 1805 if a man was un¬
able or unwilling to pay he was put into jail
if he could be caught. Miller was on the
lookout, kept in his house 8c boasted that no
Constable was able to take him. It was not
lawful to enter a dwelling without permission,
to take a man. Greenleaf says to J.L. "you
can catch him". He replied "I can try". He
rode his horse early in the evening 8c tied him
to a tree a short distance from the house,
walked around and took his position back of it.
Heard the old man in the house. Shortly two
men with a team called at the house for some¬
thing to make a light. The old man said "he
had nothing in the house and did not like to
go out as the plaguy Constable was after him. "
He soon came out however after some dry berk
around the corner of the house and was greeted
with a strong grip on his shoulder and a "good
4o
evening Mr. Miller , I have been waiting for
you sometime. Upon the promise of good be¬
havior he was. permitted to walk along while
the Constable rode by his side. As they came
to a large mud hole in the road and going
over each side, Miller says "I am going to
leave you" and run. The saddle was vacated,
long strides were made after him and a loud
scream at each jump. Soon Miller felt the
same grip upon his shoulder found himself
upon his back with an elbow pressing heav¬
ily upon his breast. Being rather uncom¬
fortably situated he made all required prom¬
ises and kept them. He was a Methodist.
About 1829 Silas Clark, son of Maj . Walter
Clark of Columbus came from the north in the
stage and had $400 in a bundle, which Mary,
wife of Olney Perkins, stole while he was out
•of the coach, having left the bundle on the
seat. Had her examined found nothing. After a
little time it was suspected that she design¬
ed to leave slyly for Rhode Island and some
persons were on the lookout. Some months af¬
ter in October Stephen Howard of Columbus,
in the night rapped at J. L. Door and says
"they have gone". He with May Clark pur¬
sued and found them at Unadilla, Otsego Co.
N.Y. at Baggs Hotel. Without any legal auth¬
ority he ordered Mrs . Bagg to search Mrs .
Perkins for the money. She searched and re¬
ported she could find nothing of the money.
He then directed her to strip the woman na¬
ked put on other clothes & let him have hers
for examination. In this process while her
skirt was being withdrawn a bag or pocket
was discovered held on the upper end by a
string passing between her legs up back and
tied to the first string. One jerk by Mrs.
Bagg loosened it & she brought it to him for
4l
examination. In it was found .one -half of the
money, the other half as was afterward shown,
was left with her husband. But few would have
dared to push the matter to this extreme as a
failure would have brought unpleasant conse¬
quences to him. But he undertook to succeed
and he did. She died on her way to Auburn
prison by poison from her own hands as was
supposed. His good and reliable friends in
early days were Capt. Barnum, John Whitmore,
Capt. David Smith, Tracy Robinson, Rob't Muir
of Columbus and Chas. Knapp (his bail as. Dep¬
uty Sheriff) Jaby Beardslee, Levi Blakeslee
8c A. C. Welch of New Berlin. He has all his

son R. L. Lamb, after this with his son Har¬
low R. with whom he died. His death was sud¬
den and unexpected, died while lying on his
bed eating breakfast with food in- his mouth
and without a struggle. He left $16000 to
his children. He was an excellent penman 8c
a good hand for making writings. Annexed is
his autograph. To his children in the day of
